I'll keep this post updated throughout the season for those curious about TV ratings

We started Week One against UNC with 0.9M viewers for a 4pm/1pm start on Fox. That was the 16th most watched game of the weekend with ND/Mich predictably at the top with 7m viewers. Our game was just shy of Georgia/Austin Peay and UCLA/Cincinnati and just above Furd/Cal St. San Diego.

I can't tell ya how those numbers compare with last yeat's game since that game was on a regional network and the site I use for numbers only includes the networks, the ESPN and Fox channels...no pac-12 network, ACC Network, etc.

USC/Furd is close to as good as it gets ratings-wise for a conference game (with UW maybe pulling sightly higher) but it still lagged P12 games with other teams. Unlike inter-conference ratings winners in the SEC and Big 10, the Pac-12 gets its biggest number of eyeballs in non-conference games. That's certainly been the case for us.

So what's the point? More people watching doesn't mean recruits with sub 3.0 gaps can come here. It doesn't help us get better. The exposure doesn't help, especially with no Direct Tv. We still end up with a losing record every year.

Someone's got a case of the Mondays! Um, yeah, I wasn't suggesting that tv numbers impact the play on the field. There really isn't a point other than some find it interesting to see what kind of viewership/exposure numbers we pull in and the impact of variables such as game time/network/opponent.

I enjoy the information because I find it interesting. I'm not going to do anything with it, but not everything someone does has to be to achieve a goal. Random random curiosity should be indulged..
